No way the Cowboys lose to Philly or Washington this year

I live here in PHILLY and i usually look forward to these matchups and all the hype but i am just not looking forward to this game today. This team just scares me on what they do week in and week out...finding ways to lose. And if they lose today i will have to hear it all week. I am just not confidant today.

Ew. I wish you hadn't mentioned that. I'd forgotten about it completely.

Yea, but our defense was a very poor matchup for their offense last season, combined with a poor game plan. And if I remember correctly (correct me if I'm wrong here), didn't Sean Lee get injured at the beginning of that game last year and was taken out as a result? We had two huge liabilities in their with James and Brookings against the Eagle's O for pretty much the whole game, not to mentioned our poop stain of a secondary.

We're much better equipped to deal with them this time around.

No doubt. But, if I'm being honest, I was just as sure last year that we were going to beat them as I am today. That was a game that just stunned me, and I felt like an idiot for expecting such good things.

He basically took the wind out of my sails here this morning. I still think we win, convincingly, today, because the matchups really are in our favor (better coverage ILBs, better CBs, and we've got a major advantage on their battered OL). But now I've got the seeds of doubt, thanks to theebs.

that may be true....but the Cowboys are THE most hated rival for both these teams, there is nothing better for them and its fans than to beat the Boys.

Yes, the Cowboys' rivals are always highly motivated to beat Dallas, but that still hasn't stopped the Cowboys from beating the Redskins 21 out of the last 28 times. So I wouldn't think too much of that psychological factor.
